Ramseur commissioners approve new server, software

RAMSEUR — On Monday, the Ramseur Board of Commissions approved buying a new server for town hall as well as new software for water and sewer billing.

Total cost was $8,791.86. Funding has been allocated and will come from the current administrative and water and sewer budgets.

“Our current server was installed in 1991 and has all of the water billing and accounting on it,” said Town Administrator Kevin Franklin. “We have been having some trouble with it and if it goes down, we could be out of service for days or weeks. We really don’t want to spend the money, but if something happens …”

The board also approved $2,675 for an automatic transfer switch at the town’s main pump station, which recently failed during a storm.
